Severe, Life-Changing Injuries in Motorcycle Cases

Motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries that change a rider’s life forever. Such claims require careful evaluation, detailed evidence, and the insight of medical and financial experts who can project the long-term costs of recovery and care.

Some of the serious injuries our firm is prepared to address include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Severe fractures and orthopedic injuries
• Amputations and loss of limb function
• Severe road rash with complications or infection

We work closely with rehabilitation specialists, life care planners, and other experts. Our goal is to make the compensation we demand reflect both the immediate medical bills and the future costs of living with a serious injury.

Overcoming Insurance Company Bias Against Motorcyclists

One of the greatest challenges motorcyclists face after an accident is the way insurance companies stereotype riders as “reckless by nature.” This unfair assumption is often used to shift blame onto the motorcyclist, even when the crash was clearly caused by another driver’s negligence.

This tactic is especially harmful under Georgia’s comparative negligence rule, which prevents any recovery if a rider is found to be 50% or more at fault. Insurance companies know this, and they often use it as leverage to reduce or deny claims. At The Law Offices of Joshua W. Branch, we know how to challenge these stereotypical arguments head-on.

Our strategies used to protect our motorcycle accident clients from liability often include:

• Conducting thorough investigations of the crash
• Working with accident reconstruction experts to prove fault
• Gathering witness statements and physical evidence
• Demonstrating the safe and lawful behavior of the rider

Compensation Available in a Motorcycle Accident Claim

A motorcycle accident can affect every aspect of life, from health to financial stability. Georgia law allows injured riders to seek compensation for both economic costs and non-economic harm. It is our passion to help local riders in Jefferson pursue justice and compensation through legal action.

Compensation in a motorcycle accident case may include:

• Emergency medical care and hospitalization
• Rehabilitation, therapy, and ongoing medical needs
• Lost income and loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage, including motorcycle repairs or replacement
• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

Our firm carefully calculates damages with an eye on the future. By working with medical experts and financial specialists, we can prepare claims that reflect the true cost of a serious injury, not just today’s expenses, but the long-term challenges ahead.

Jefferson Motorcycle Accident FAQs

What should I do after being injured in a motorcycle accident?

Your health comes first. Seek medical care immediately. If possible, document the scene, take photographs, and gather contact information from witnesses. Avoid making statements to insurance adjusters until you have spoken with an attorney.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Georgia law requires motorcycle helmets, but not wearing one does not automatically bar you from pursuing a claim. It may factor into how damages are calculated depending on the circumstances, but you may still be able to seek compensation for injuries caused by another driver’s negligence.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Georgia?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. Acting sooner is better, as evidence can be lost over time.
